Ty Dolla $ign has had guest features on so many songs and albums over the past couple of years that he couldโve released an album or two off of those alone. Heโs been around so much that he hasnโt really given me a chance to miss him or his music, soย Beach House 3 never really registered on my radar. Butย Free TC was a very solid debut andย Campaign had its moments so I figuredย Beach House 3 would at least offer up some solid music to add to the rotation.
โEverybody wants to be famous
Anyway, anyhow
They ainโt worried โbout who they steppinโ on, no
Just as long as they race the top
They donโt wanna die nameless, no
They just wanna be famousโ
Unlike his debut,ย Beach House 3 doesnโt seem to have a grand concept itโs trying to convey, itโs a project made up entirely of bangers โ no real subtlety, no high art, just bangers. Constructing an album this way can lead to early listener fatigue, that is if said songs are not up to par. That however, is not the case with Tyโs collection of hard hitting pop (and it is pop). The production on here is top notch featuring contributions from pretty much a whoโs who of todayโs top producers in rap, and they lace him with a string of songs that could all be singles in their own rights, only letting up a little towards the albumโs back end. Ty has never really blown me away with just his singing but he has always impressed with his songwriting, itโs some of the best in the business and why he gets as much work as he does. Every song is a catchy joy to listen to, thereโs just not a ton of substance to go along with it.
Have you heardย Beach House 3? Whatโd you think about it? Do you wish Ty Dolla $ign added a bit more substance to go along with the fantastic production? Let me know in the comments below and be sure to leave your own ratings and reactions for the album.
